[Massive Air Inflow into the Left Ventricle Detected by Transesophageal Echocardiography during Rastelli Coduit Re-replacement].

Abstract

We present a case of massive air inflow into the left ventricle from the right ventricle through a small intraventricular shunt detected by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). This case suggests that TEE plays an important role in the right ventricle-pulmo- nary artery conduit re-replacement.
